SQL2000 Log File Issue

Jan 30, 2006

On one of my servers, the log file mysteriously grew to 38Gb. It completely filled the HDD, so I created another log file, took the database offline, deleted the very large log file, and then renamed the new log file to be the same name as the one I deleted. When I try to bring the database back online, I get a message saying that the log file is not a primary log file, and the database stays offline. What can I do to get this database back online?

Log File Is Too Large

May 28, 2008

I administer an application that runs on SQL 2000, without being an SQL expert myself. I have observed that if I create a maintenance plan then the log file gets trimmed, but otherwise the log file keeps growing. All was going well at one site, but recently the log file has become huge. The server is also running out of disk space. Is that the problem? I'm not sure how to control this. Can I delete a log and then it will re-create? Two smaller databases share the same maintenance plan and these logs are small. Thank you.

Extremely Large Log File

Mar 25, 2008

I have a test db in SQL Server Express 2005 with a 65MB dat file and a 1.1GB log file!!  The production db has a slightly larger dat file and only a 6MB log file.  I haven't updated by test db from the production db in a couple of months.
I tried Shrink Database and Shrink File in the Management Studio Express, but the log file size hasn't changed.
How did the log file get so large and how do I fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Large File (MDF & LDF) Sizes

Any advice is welcome. Thank you. Rick

Large XML File Source In SSIS????

Jan 19, 2007

Hi,

I have a problem where I want to import a 1.6 GB XML file with SSIS into a SQL Server database. My hunch is that SSIS is not very good with handling such large amount of XML data. My test shows that SSIS tries to read all of the file into memory.

Does anyone know if there is any solution of solving this memory problem. My problem is that I want to take this source XML file import it into a database, make some transformations on it (eliminate duplicates etc) then produce a NEW XML file as output in a different XSD-format.

Is really SSIS the right tool for this operation?

The source XML file also have mixed content on Complex Types which seems to be a problem for SSIS as well.

Best regs,

//Patrick

Export To Excel File Too Large

Oct 27, 2006

I can't find the answer to these problems. I'm using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have a report with 15,036 rows and about 15 columns. It utilizes a table and a report header and footer. One column has data containing hyperlinks to another report.

1) When I export this report to Excel, the result is 14.2MB file. Why is this file so huge, and how can I make it smaller?

2) Is there anything I can do to prevent the inclusion of the hyperlinks in the exported Excel file?

Thanks,

Rosie

.bak File For Differential Backup Is Becoming Too Large

Apr 9, 2008

When we do a full backup the .bak file is 700MB but in the meanwhile our differential backup has grown to a size of 20GB. The backup set expires in 1 day and if the backup file already exists we "append" to it.

What we basically want is a differential backup for one day only. I realize that in SQL Server 2005 you could add a "Clean up" task but that is to delete files but because we only have 1 .bak file for the differential backup this is not an option.

If we set to overwrite the backup file if it already exists what does this mean? Assume that we run a differential backup every hour, does this mean that the differential backup file will be overwritten every hour?

How can we make sure that we have a differential backup every hour and keep only the differential backups for the last 24 hours?

SQL2000 Job Can Run A .BAT File But Not A .EXE File?

Jul 17, 2001

I have a SQL Server Agent job set up that has 3 steps. The first one, type
CmdExec, runs a .BAT file. (It logs into our mainfram ftp server and downloads the files I need.) This step works fine.
Step 2, also type CmdExec, is supposed to run an .EXE file which further manipulates the FTPed data.
A third step, DTS, proceeds if given the chance...

Unfortunately, Step 2, does not run the EXE file. It sits forever. The EXE file can be run from a cmd window, or in the Windows directory window OK. The BAT files run properly from anywhere, including SQL JOB steps.

So I can`t figure out is what's causing my step 2 (run EXE) to fail.

Cannot Export Large Varchar To Text File

Jun 15, 2001

When using DTS (in SQL 7) to export via OLE DB a large varchar to a text file, it clips it at 255 chars.
No other data access drivers seem to work, either. This is lame! I cannot use bcp as a work
around, because i want to use quoted comma-delimited, which it doesn't support, and I
am using query-based export, where the query calls a stored proc, which bcp also doesn't
support.

Are there any new versions of MDAC that fix this? Anyone know a workaround? My current hack fix
is to split my field into 2, but this is a grubby fix that hassles my reciptients.

This is a pretty fundamental limitation to a major product!

Shrinking Unreasonably Large Transaction Log File.

Oct 12, 2002

Gurus,

I have inherited a SQL 2000 database ( (I am new to SQL DBA) and I found this when I was checking the db properites . The transaction log has grown bigger than the actual data file, I thought transaction log backups would truncate the inactive portion of the log file and shrink the transaction log, but it was not the case it seems, may be it was truncating the inactive portion of the log, but not shrinking it. This site does not have a job for truncating the data/log files periodically. What is the best method to deal this situation, how can I shrink the Transaction log quickly?,

All your suggestions are welcome.

TIA,
-Jay

File Groups: Moving A Large Table

May 8, 2007

We have recently added a new file group and file on a new drive. We have tested it by moving a small table to the new file group. We would like to relocate a new table to this file group but the table is about (we estimate) 75GB. My question is this: How long can we expect the transfer of data from the current file group to the new one for this table? I understand that depending on our hardware the answer may vary but does anyone have a rough estimate?

The current current (primary) file is located on a DELL SAN and the new secondary group is on a EMC 4700 both are connected via fiber channel.

Also a bonus question would be: Does a "normal" database backup created as a maintenance plan backup the seconary data as well into the BAK file?

Like I said a rough estimate is fine.

Many thanks,

Scott

SQL Server 2008 :: Large Binary Dataset - Database Or File System?

Jun 2, 2015

I have a well-structured but also very large binary data-set that is generated by a C++ application every five minutes. The data needs to be accessed by SQL applications. Since data is generated every five minutes, performance is key, both for write and read. The data set is about 500MB.If data is written to the file system, the write performance doesn't involve SQL server. For reading it, I have a CLR to read the portions of the data that I need based on offset and length. That works and is very fast. The problem is that data is stored in the file system, so it is not self-contained within the database.

A second option that I haven't explored yet, is to write the data into a table as VARBINARY(MAX). I would read the data using SUBSTRING with appropriate offset and length. Performance of SQL write/read of binary data of this size, and whether there is a third option I haven't thought off. I'm using SQL Server 2014.

SQL Server 2008 :: Making Use Of A Large Transaction File To Delete Records?

Jun 5, 2015

Currently we has a database of size about 300G. Because our backup system failed some time past we were left with a transaction log file which grew to about 160G. However our backups are working again and everything is working fine. My understanding is that now the transaction log file is practically empty but the capacity remains at 160G.

When you delete records the deleted transactions are going to get logged to the transaction file. My understanding is when a backup is done these transactions get discarded out of the transaction file.

could I make use of this relatively large transaction file and start deleting transactions without out actually adding to the transaction file size.

The plan is to delete records from logging tables that are not referenced to by any other table without this increasing the transaction log file.For example over a period of a few weeks we can delete a chunk of records from a table. Then after it has completed a backup we can delete another chunk of records out of this table until we have got the table down to the records that we now need.Will this work?
